clerk_n or_o counsellor_n to_o draw_v the_o right_a form_n of_o his_o indictment_n which_o as_o i_o see_v few_o can_v do_v he_o shall_v both_o spend_v his_o money_n and_o lose_v his_o labour_n and_o perhaps_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v as_o i_o do_v three_o or_o four_o time_n to_o draw_v indictment_n till_o he_o find_v one_o that_o may_v stand_v good_a 3._o this_o frequent_a quash_a of_o

4._o this_o very_a practice_n and_o proceed_n may_v be_v fear_v to_o prove_v the_o very_a bane_n and_o destruction_n of_o whole_a nation_n and_o kingdom_n for_o if_o righteousness_n exalt_v a_o

the_o truth_n of_o my_o enemy_n but_o for_o myself_o i_o thank_v god_n for_o it_o as_o i_o live_v many_o year_n very_o quiet_o and_o content_o with_o far_o less_o mean_n than_o 20_o li._n a_o year_n
